In the recent past, BSDI has pointed significant resources towards
resolving issues with IBM hardware, specifically the Netinfinitys.
Further, BSDI has stressed to us again and again that they consider
this an important platform.  BTW, every time so far, the hardware
issues have not been BSD/OS problems... 

Everytime I have called IBM support about a hardware BSD interaction
problem, they have gone the extra mile to resolve the problem.

So far, it works for us.  We are being cheap bastards and *exploring*
shifting to VA Linux.  This may not happen...
